So I wondered if I should say anything about this subject as it is very special and should be treated as such. But since part of this purpose is to share in the whole planning and not knowing all the workings of a mission, as the stuff I would say is nothing that isn't on the internet I figured I'd put it in. It's not much but by now you should now that you must meet with the Stake President on Sundays to have a interview for your recommend . Well in our stake you need to send an email to request an appointment with the Stake Presidency, and they only read their mail on Saturday. So I have been quietly urging Dylan to send an email, as two weeks ago the Bishop issued Dylan his recommend,. and this week is Christmas and next week is New Years Day, and the following weekend is when we would like to go to the temple. Anyways short story long. Dylan has an appointment tomorrow to meet with the stake president.
I am excited. I hope Dylan is too. The church now encourages the young men to go to the temple as soon as they receive their call. Dylan has now had his call for 1 month.
I guess I have no patience. When you say jump, I don't ask questions, I just jump. Ready to go.

My Missionary Commission
MY MISSIONARY COMMISSION
I am Called of God. My authority is above that of the kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my Master and he has chosen me to represent him. To stand in his place, to say and do what he himself would say and do if he personally were ministering to the very people to whom he has sent me. My voice is his voice, and my acts are his acts; my words are his words, and my doctrine is his doctrine. My commission is to do what he wants done. To say what he wants said. To be a living modern witness in word and deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous latter-day work.
-Elder Bruce R McConkie
